Support Trevor at United Relay: History’s Biggest Coast-to-Coast Challenge

March 28, 2016

Starting in May, The Trevor Project is joining 9,000 runners in a race across the United States. Help save young LGBTQ lives in the biggest coast-to-coast challenge in history by signing up along any of the United Relay routes.

You can be that one supportive person who can decrease a young person’s risk for suicide by 30 percent. To get involved, set up a donation page and encourage your friends and family to take part. If you are underage, differently abled, or don’t feel like racing, you can make a big difference by raising awareness, cheering us on, or donating here. If you would like a discount on signing up for the race, email [email protected] for more information. AfterShokz will be giving away free headphones through a weekly prize draw here.

To prepare for United Relay, Trevor recognizes that self-care is necessary for building endurance. As National Sleep and Nutrition Awareness Months come to an end in March, we’ve compiled some tips on how to get ready for the race.

Get Better Sleep
1. Set a routine to wake up the same time each day
2. Exercise regularly
3. Avoid naps longer than 20 minutes
4. Eat and drink lightly before bed
5. Turn off electronics and dim the lights an hour before you sleep
6. If you can’t fall asleep, try getting up, taking a walk, journaling, meditating, or turning on music

Plan Nutritious Meals
1. A few weeks leading up to the race, plan meals with lean meats like chicken or fish and/or plant-based carb foods that are in season, like vegetables, fruits, and legumes
2. A few days leading up to the race, stay away from food that is not easy to digest or may not agree with your stomach, like processed foods, fats, fried foods, dairy, or extra fiber
3. Three hours before the race, eat a breakfast of carbs and protein or energy bars
4. 30 minutes before the race, continuously sip water to stay hydrated

Whether you race with Trevor or not, we appreciate all your support and we thank you for raising awareness about United Relay!
